Pendergrass Ranch - Big changes!

[PendergrassRanch]

A good friend of mine got the biggest, most gaudy engagement ring. She LOVES it which is what matters to her. I just could not imagine wearing that thing every day. IMO, the man is more important than the ring. I also am constantly sticking my hands in the dirt, and other dirty farm things so it just doesn't make sense for my type of life.

I'm glad some people understand cause most of my friends think its stupid.

Smart Girl you are!

cuz if he ever does something REAL DUMB throwing a ring at him won't do a thing, but a shotgun... now that will!

Just kidding!

I am with you on the ring. I am terrified at the idea of wearing something worth hundreds or even thousand's of dollars around every day. I would much rather spend that money on something I will really enjoy, like more goats. or more guns.

When we went to pick out our wedding bands, the girl at the counter reinforced all of the reasons why we didn't want a wedding. She kept pushing me to pick something bigger, with stones. When she brought up payment plans I stopped her short and said, truthfully " I can afford any ring in this cabinet, cash on the spot. I want this one" and pointed to the one I had started with, a simple, plain, 3mm gold band.

I don't understand all of these fools putting their wedding and rings on a "payment plan" or credit cards. Don't they have something else to buy, like a house? We spent $896 on our wedding, including the rings and I don't regret it a bit.

He is a handsome man, and good provider- nice turkey!

Just wanted to jump ahead and say Hello! (I just discovered the journal section and am reading everyones journals.)

I am on page 11 of yours and it says you live in Middletown. Well.... I live in Upper Lake!!! About an hour or so away. What a surprise! We are moving in a month to start our own farm (We will still be in Upper Lake).

I enjoy reading everyones journals...the stories are great and we have got lots of tips from reading as well. Well, gonna go back and get caught up on your journal!

From a male perspective, I would say you are all too rare in your attitude. It was the what can you buy me thing that kept me single most of my life.

Now that's funny! Rare?!

What I thought was so great was her BF "heard her", AND got her exactly as she wanted!

Drew said that when they asked him what the ring was for, he said engagement so they said "Oh well we have these other rings over here..". He just stopped them and said "No thank you. She wants this one"

We probably won't spend at lot on a wedding. We might just have it at our house! LOL It is just one day, one memorable day but the relationship matters much more than the wedding, to me.
